Stochastic Low Frequency Variability in 3-Dimensional Radiation Hydrodynamical Models of Massive Star Envelopes

Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: William C. Schultz, Lars Bildsten, Yan-Fei Jiang, , | Summary: Increasing main sequence stellar luminosity with stellar mass leads to the eventual dominance of radiation pressure in stellar envelope hydrostatic balance. As the luminosity approaches the Eddington limit, additional instabilities (beyond conventional convection) can occur. These instabilities […]

Discovery of a double detonation thermonuclear supernova progenitor

Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Thomas Kupfer, Evan B. Bauer, Jan van Roestel, Eric C. Bellm, Lars Bildsten | Summary: We present the discovery of a new double detonation progenitor system consisting of a hot subdwarf B (sdB) binary with a white dwarf companion with an P=76.34179(2) min orbital period. Spectroscopic observations […]

Unified Description of Tunneling Transport in Ultracold Atomic Gases

Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | First 5 Authors: Hiroyuki Tajima, Daigo Oue, Mamoru Matsuo, , | Summary: We derive tunneling Hamiltonians from a microscopic model of ultracold atoms separated by an external potential barrier. Not only usual one-body tunneling but also pair- and spin-tunneling processes naturally arise from a well-known microscopic model without any empirical […]

Multi-Particle Tunneling Transport at Strongly-Correlated Interfaces

Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | First 5 Authors: Hiroyuki Tajima, Daigo Oue, Mamoru Matsuo, , | Summary: We elucidate the multi-particle transport of pair- and spin-tunnelings in strongly correlated interfaces. Not only usual single-particle tunneling but also interaction-induced multi-particle tunneling processes naturally arise from a conventional microscopic model without any empirical parameters, through the overlap […]

Valley transport driven by dynamic lattice distortion

Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | First 5 Authors: Yuya Ominato, Daigo Oue, Mamoru Matsuo, , | Summary: Angular momentum conversion between mechanical rotation and the valley degree of freedom in 2D Dirac materials is investigated theoretically. Coupling between the valley and vorticity of dynamic lattice distortions is derived by applying the k.p method to 2D […]

Charge order and superconductivity in a minimal two-band model for infinite-layer nickelates

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Cheng Peng, Hong-Chen Jiang, Brian Moritz, Thomas P. Devereaux, Chunjing Jia | Summary: The recent discovery of superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates has drawn considerable attention; however, a consensus on the fundamental building blocks and common ingredients necessary to understand and describe their ground states and emergent properties […]

Finding Local Minimax Points via (Stochastic) Cubic-Regularized GDA: Global Convergence and Complexity

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Ziyi Chen, Qunwei Li, Yi Zhou, , | Summary: Standard gradient descent-ascent (GDA)-type algorithms can only find stationary points in nonconvex minimax optimization, which are far more sub-optimal than local minimax points. In this work, we develop GDA-type algorithms that globally converge to local minimax points in […]

Neural Strokes: Stylized Line Drawing of 3D Shapes

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew Fisher | First 5 Authors: Difan Liu, Matthew Fisher, Aaron Hertzmann, Evangelos Kalogerakis, | Summary: This paper introduces a model for producing stylized line drawings from 3D shapes. The model takes a 3D shape and a viewpoint as input, and outputs a drawing with textured strokes, with variations in stroke thickness, deformation, […]
